66 Not That Flexible To Accommodate Sleepovers

It's Thursday and Hana woke up early to pack up her things. Tomorrow will be her last day with MEGA UNIVERSE.

She bid her farewell to everyone in the company except the members of Code Red.

Their schedules were packed and Luna never had a chance to match her remaining time at the company with theirs. She had planned long ago to drop by the houses of the members' parents to give her gifts.

She remembered the time she met them for the first time. She was too emotional. Having parents care for her was an unusual experience and pairing it with having amnesia in an unknown place caused a mess with her emotions.

With Terry's help, she scheduled her trip to the different parts of Costa Syniale just to personally give some souvenirs and coupons for spas to the parents. Hana's sure that they will like her presents.

On her way to work, her smile was permanently plastered on her face. She greeted everyone good morning and when Ms. Lucia saw her glowing, the woman threw a folder at her. "Wipe that stupid smile on your face. It's annoying."

"Why the hell is your love language so violent? Oh, wait, are you upset because you'll miss me? Awww..." Hana teased her.

The red-haired woman glared at her. Her replacement, Joy, looked at the two of them in nervousness. Will a fight ensue?

Hana just laughed at Ms. Lucia. "Don't worry, I will be back to visit you guys sometimes."

"You said you left your company in the hands of someone else. Why do you have to leave here as well, then?"

"Are you serious? Why would I leave a suffocating environment just to jump into a more suffocating one? I'm not crazy."

Ms. Lucia just nodded her head. "I agree with your first statement, but the last one was a complete bull. I never thought you could be crazier. You shouldn't have gotten back what you've lost." Ms. Lucia was referring to her memories but she phrased it that way because Joy was not aware of her story.

Yeah, I completely agree with that one. There are things better left forgotten.

Outwardly, she just gave a smile to the woman.

For the rest of the day, Hana focused on her job, making sure that she would not leave anything unfinished.

Ms. Lucia invited her to eat out before they separated ways. Hana did not feel like going out because she wanted to rest early but she made adjustments because she considered Ms. Lucia a part of her circle now.

They went to the bar they went to before and the bartender recognized Ms. Lucia. She seemed to drop by this place without Hana knowing about it.

"Now that you are out of the company, just call me Lucia. You saying "Miss" all the time sounded painful in my ear."

Hana laughed. "Sure, Lucia."

"So, where do you plan to go after this?"

"I was thinking of giving gifts to the parents of Code Red to thank them for taking care of me when I had nothing."

"Oh, like those souvenirs you gave me?"

"Yep."

"Then? Where are you headed? Are you going to leave Costa Syniale?"

"I honestly don't know. I was thinking of just wandering around without a clear destination in mind. If there's one thing that I'm certain about, it's my desire to not stay cooped up in an office all the time."

"And how will you earn money?"

"The company. It's not like I stopped being the owner. I'll continue writing my books as well, I will always have something to do."

"Are you planning to be a vagabond?"

"Hmmm... I'm really not thinking of myself as one. I just did not want to be tied in one place. I'll go back home sometimes if I feel like it. I'll come back here again to watch Code Red's concert. Oh, wait. My memories just returned and guess what?"

"What?"

"I was already a fan of Code Red even before I lost my memories." Lucia's eyes widened in surprise.

"Oh my god. You were a fan and coincidentally, when you lost your memory, you ended up near them. That's high-level stalker tendencies."

Hana laughed so hard and hit Lucia on her thigh. "Woman, I almost died. Do you think I would endanger myself to that level just to stalk people? Good lord. I'm a fan but I'm not that crazy."

Lucia laughed with her. "But who would've thought, right? Damn, if delusional fan girls heard your story, they will hunt you down."

The two had a merry night laughing and giggling until they got drunk.

When the two finally decided to end the night, they dragged their asses out of the bar. Thankfully, Lucia hired a chauffeur for that evening so they safely went home.

On her trip to the parents' residences, Hana ditched the unserious version of herself that she showed to Ms. Lucia.

This time, she was the epitome of an elegant young lady that mothers-in-law wanted for their sons. She donned the best attire that accentuated her femininity. It was a simple white sundress usually worn by the male lead's first love in the movies. For Hana, this mode was the ideal mask she could use to meet the parents of the celebrities she idolized.

The parents happily welcomed her into their homes. "Luna! It's been so long. We missed you."

This was their standard greeting coupled with a warm hug that Hana gladly enjoyed.

The parents were interested to know what happened to her but she skipped the part where she was sexually assaulted and killed people, making up a white lie about the rope getting loose and she ran outside where Zeno found her. Terry knew she's not comfortable talking about the exact events to everyone, so she suggested Luna tell another version instead. She's glad she had Terry guiding her when she was lost.

Terry, if reincarnation is real, in your next life, please be a parent again. We need more parents like you.

Some of the parents she visited insisted that she stay a little longer. Unfortunately, she rejected their invitations. Not everyone's available all the time so her schedule was not that flexible to accommodate sleepovers.

To appease them, she promised to be back and visit them every time she was in the country and thankfully, they conceded.

For her last stop, she went back to the company. It was the closest to the airport and her last day at Costa Syniale finally coincided with the members' schedule to stay inside the company building. She requested Jack's help so she could drop by before she headed to the airport and he was the one to pick her up from the entrance of the building.
